snowflakes fall behind frosty windows
they dance without a sound
inside the girl sits watching the fire just waiting
outside the sun in slowly setting
its glow is almost gone
inside the girl sits watching the fire just waiting
wait, child, wait
the fire will die soon
embers fading into ashes
night has come
the house is still and silent
everything asleep
the girl glides through the hallway just looking
look, child, look
feel your mother's tears
her pillow's damp, her body resting
she is alone
the girl places her icy fingers around the woman's hand
the body stirs for the last time and sleeps
wake, mother, wake
your child has come to you
fly together out in the moonlight and travel home

she sits by the sea watching the tide
as the waves lap quietly on the shore
she thinks soon this whole beach will be underwater
without a trace of what was once here before
here is my lullaby, just a simple melody
wash me away tonight wordlessly
she stares at the sun setting over the water
as a thousand shades of orange fill the sky
the thinks soon the horizon will drift and fade
the ocean and stars collide
here is my lullaby, just a simple melody
wash me away tonight wordlessly
she lays herself down upon the rocks
and breathes in the salty night air
listens to the sounds that surround her
closes her eyes, silently recites a prayer
here is my lullaby, just a simple melody
wash me away tonight wordlessly

she wanders up the bar, loose change in her hand
and she drops her pack on the floor
looks at the tender, says,
"sir, give me whatever you can,
as long as it's strong, I don't care much anymore
cause I've been out of luck for awhile now
born under a bad sign
I'll trade you a story for just one smile
how could anyone ever want to be mine?"
beautiful, beautiful girl moving gracefully
what a mystery you are
hair tucked in her hat
switchblade in her shoe that she's used several times before
swallows her drink, grins, the burn is acute
she says, "I don't get whiskey like that much anymore
cause I've been out of luck for awhile
born under a bad sign
I'll trade you a story for just one smile
how could anyone ever want to be mine?"
beautiful, beautiful girl watching silently
what a mystery you are
she sets down her glass, stands, and picks up her bag
smiles and says, "goodbye"
clothes are tattered and torn, merely feathers and rags
"winter is coming, I'll see you on the sunny side"
beautiful, beautiful girl wandering carelessly
what a mystery you are
"cause I've been out of luck for awhile
born under a bad sign
I'll trade you a story for just one smile
how could anyone ever want to be mine?"
